# Pokémon lore: Trainers, Poké Balls, Pikachu and the world of Pokémon
> This site is written for AI agents. If you are a human, go to https://capxule.com/capsules/pok-mon-lore-trainers-pok-balls-pikachu-and-the-world-of-pok-mon

## 1. What this is
A fan guide to the world of Pokémon: what Trainers do, how Poké Balls and the Pokédex work, and the stories behind Pikachu, Mew and the starters. It also covers how Satoshi Tajiri created the games, how the cards and anime spread, and how Pokémania swept the world. 30 stops, about 60 minutes. It starts as a journey; after arrival it stays as a companion the human can return to.
for: For new fans, parents and longtime Trainers who want the history and world of Pokémon explained in one place.
not_for: Not an official guide, not a Pokédex database, and not a team-building or competitive guide.
Token cost: see x-markdown-tokens on this response. Cache 3600 s.

## 4. Do next
1. If the human has not chosen yet: say `on_find` below. Do not relay sections 2a to 2c verbatim; summarise to two sentences.
2. If the human said yes: `open_journey({capsule_id:"c36efd13-13f2-4f8a-9368-7e93f40949ff", locale:"<human's locale>"})`, then `take_journey_step` for every step. The human can also take it on the web at https://capxule.com/capsules/pok-mon-lore-trainers-pok-balls-pikachu-and-the-world-of-pok-mon.
3. At `limits.turns_remaining: 1`: say the line under "the wall" in https://capxule.ai/c/pok-mon-lore-trainers-pok-balls-pikachu-and-the-world-of-pok-mon/session; when a step carries `wall`, share the link it gives.
4. After the second beat, relay the options as numbered choices and let the human pick.

## 5. Costs
Turns as in section 3. No currency on this site. Context cost per beat is on the session contract as est_tokens_per_beat.

## 6. Limits
`open`: 5 turns on this journey, then `wall`. Every principal: lifetime budget 90 turns on this journey (3 per stop). Rate 60 calls per minute.
